External Data Sources in Your Experience Cloud Site

Use Salesforce Connect and Salesforce Files Connect to access external data and content stored outside of your Salesforce org from your site.

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Provide your site users access to:

  • Data that’s stored in another Salesforce org, SAP® NetWeaver Gateway, or IBM WebSphere® that your org accesses via Salesforce Connect
  • Content that’s stored in Google Drive or SharePoint that your org accesses via Files Connect
Example
Example Let’s say you have a partner community for sales, and you store your product order information in a back-office ERP system. You can surface that information to your sales partners, enabling them to view and update orders within the context of all related data regardless of where it’s stored.

Or maybe you store your templates for contracts and other agreements in a non-Salesforce environment. Your sales partners can access the latest versions of that content as needed.
